Does it really matter? nOg is better than Mir at everythingf accept for maybe commentating, and that wont help Mir much in the Octagon.

On the feet Nog, will out BOx Mir, and no matter how good your jits is, no one wants to go to the ground with Nog.

Traditional jits and mma jits is very different. IMO Nog’s mma jits is better than any other HW. He out Jitsed Werdum in Pride , so I doubt Mir will pose much of a threat to him on the ground!

Nog will not loose that fight. THe real HW title fight between 2 HW’s that actually DESERVE to fight for the title is:
WErdum vs. Nogueira….Too bad we have to wait til March to see it! Hopefully Mir gets hurt during training and Werdum steps in to fight Nog in December. HW title has been on hold forever, and I dont want a title fight wasted on Mir.

Nog vs. Werdum is where its At!

Nog vs. WErdum comin’ soon??!!? WOw, that would be a ground battle! Wouldn’t hurt if it was on the feet though.

And as for MIr, he just actually signed his death certificate if he’s thinkin’ he’s gonna get past “Minotauro”, HAhahaha!!

Mir has never really impressed me. His arm breaking move over Tim has always been overhyped. He got beat down badly in his return fight after he was mounted (I forgot his opponent’s name), he got crushed by Vera and he got a submission against a green Lesnar. Nog is going to kill this guy…

Nearly everyone agrees that Mir does not deserve this fight, it really is a joke. A knee bar on an inexperienced Lesner after Lesner had half beaten him to death and after all the crappy fights he had before that, should not have given him the shot, but that is the UFC these days I guess. He is not in the same class as Nog and it seems that I am not the only one who thinks Mir is overrated. Nog definately should take this and I want him to win because I am pissed at Mir getting the shot. Nog better get his act together because even though he won his last couple of fights the victories were not too impressive, but they were a lot more impressive than Mirs’.
